£400.00
I built this model from the plan by Brian Taylor. It is for sale as I am giving up heavier and wet-fuelled models.
It has a Saito FG-11petrol 4-stroke engine. This comes with the original box and tools.
It was mainly built from parts purchased from Sarik models. It has metal electric retracts. It is covered in light Ceconite with acrylic paint decoration and vinyl markings, and is protected by Tufcote. The wing connects to the fuselage via a single multi-pole connector. There are LED navigation lights in the wingtips.
More photos available by email on request.
Fitted with R/C kill switch and batteries.
The engine was run in to Saito instructions and is always run using best quality model aircraft 2-stroke oil.
Model flies well and lands slowly despite not having flaps.
The engine costs about £425 now, so I am looking for offers around £400 for the complete model. The total build cost was about £700.
Fitted with a FrSky X8R receiver – deduct £20 if not wanted.
I have an electric starter, fuel carrier with manual pump, and useful bits for the flying field which is available to whoever buys the second of the models I have for sale.
